Fans hate him, and the sooner they dump him the better.
True stars step up when the pressure is on at some point and come through in the clutch. Do you really want me to post his post season stats from the last three years? Its so embarassing as to be tragic.
Noone in NY wanted to hate the guy when he came here. ALl yankee fans wanted him to be great and help us win championships.
After the first tragic postseason against Boston, we then lowered our expectations and hopes last year to just hoping he would not cost us games again.
Its at the point now where we get nauseous when he comes to the plate because we know what hes gonna do, which is to do what he did yesterday three times, hes gonna strike out, and he did it again yesterday with the bases loaded.
As far as Slot's Jeter analogy, its only common sense to think that in the playoffs againstthe very best teams, thats its gonna be harder to get a hit against the very best pitchers and fielders. I think a 1st grader could see the logic in that.
hes got 4 rings, and so many big games and key hits that you can't even name them all. ARod has none.
